In a showdown at Berlin's Olympiastadion, England's hopes of ending 58 years of footballing heartache were dashed by Spain in the Euro 2024 final. Gareth Southgate's team, despite their resilience, suffered a second consecutive European Championship final defeat, as Spain secured victory with Mikel Oyarzabal's late goal.
The match swung in Spain's favor early in the second half when Nico Williams capitalized on Lamine Yamal's pass, unleashing a fierce shot past England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. It showcased Spain's youthful prowess and left England once again grappling with the elusive quest for major honors.
Following the heartbreak, King Charles offered words of support to England and Gareth Southgate, recognizing the disappointment of falling short on the big stage. The nation mourned the narrow 2-1 defeat, while Spain celebrated their first major title in over a decade with a late-game twist.
